Definitions

  • This invention relates to a switch contact, such as an R.F. switch, that provides a contact area remote from the mating surfaces, while offering wipe and backwipe to the contacts to counter the effects of oxides and contaminates which may be introduced to the switching contact area.
  • Wipe and backwipe have long been a major concern of contacts, particularly cantilevered spring arms which offer only a limited area of contact. Since such spring arms are typically formed of sheet metal, such as phosphor bronze, oxides can present a problem for effective electrical contact. Metal oxides are typically nonconductive and can therefore cause electrical continuity problems. Additionally, contaminants at the contact area may effect performance. Accordingly, means for providing wipe and backwipe were devised to provide a cleaner contact area.
  • the respective mating ends are axially offset from one another, whereby, upon mating by the complementary connector, contact is made seguentially with the mating ends and the contact arm is caused to wipe along the shank portion of the other switch contact to counter the effects of contaminants and oxides formed at the point of contact.
  • FIGURE 5 is a plan view of a stamped sheet metal blank for a first switch contact incorporated into the switch connector of this invention.
  • FIGURE 6 is a side view of the first switch contact of Figure 5, after preliminary forming.
